Hi,

It's quite unfortunate that the allowed_ips variable doesn't accept the
normal address/mask format, because that way there is no easy way to
specify networks such as 213.202.64.0/18, let alone something larger.

I agree with this statement. But, from my experience, people don't play
a lot with anything outside 192.168.0.* or 127.0.0.1. But off course, i
will be better to adress everything in the netmask... I think you would
agree that this bug is "wishlist"...

I will see if this bug doesn't already exist in the upstream BTS.

Kind regard

Well, perhaps minor, but not wishlist, because I think it's silly to expect
people to maintain an IP access list without netmask support. It's 2006 :)

It doesn't even extend only to larger blocks - think smaller networks too -
how do you specify a /26, skip the next /27, and then include another /27?
It's simply painful :)
